gh-139806: Mention pickle error changes in What's New in 3.14 (GH-154020)

The gh-122311 changes made pickle.dump() and pickle.dumps() raise
PicklingError for some failures that previously raised AttributeError,
ImportError, ValueError or UnicodeEncodeError, depending on the
implementation.
Add an entry about this in the "Porting to Python 3.14" section.

+* :func:`pickle.dump` and :func:`pickle.dumps` now raise
+  :exc:`~pickle.PicklingError` for some failures that previously raised
+  :exc:`AttributeError`, :exc:`ImportError`, :exc:`ValueError`,
+  :exc:`UnicodeEncodeError` or :exc:`!PicklingError`,
+  depending on the implementation
+  (for example, pickling a local object, or an object whose module cannot be 
imported).
+  The original exception is chained to the :exc:`!PicklingError`.
+  Code that caught these exceptions should also catch :exc:`!PicklingError`.

 * :class:`types.UnionType` is now an alias for :class:`typing.Union`,
